Basics
Pulling bulk data from the map
Pulling bulk leads in an area
Sometimes, you just want a large volume of leads in a general area. This is the most basic and straight forward use case for telefi.
- Start on the main screen overlooking the map on https://my.telefi.app.
- Select one of the two drawing tools on the bottom panel
- The left most icon is a simple pencil tool. Once selected you may click and drag on the map to draw a boundary. When you stop clicking, it will create a solid boundary ready to be pulled.
- The middle icon is a selection drawing tool for drawing individual segments. Once selected, you may click once to start a line segment, move your mouse to extend the segment and click again to place the end of the segment. To complete a full boundary, make sure your final segment extends to the first point you created and click.
- The final tool is an eraser tool. Use this to delete any boundaries you created by selecting the eraser and clicking the boundary you wish to delete on the map.
- Once a tool is selected, create the boundaries surrounding the areas you would like to collect leads for. As long as the boundary contains at least one valid point for you to attempt pulling, a button reading "View Data" will appear just above the drawing tools. You may click either this button or the "Manage" button (labeled on the left side bar as a 3D cube below the search icon). This will open the tab to manage your selection and existing leads.
- Once the manage tab is open, you will be presented with two tables.
- The top table contains points that you have currently selected on the map.
- The bottom table displays all of the data you already have purchased
- From the top table, you may choose to either select individual addresses to pull by selecting the checkbox on the left side of each address. To select all of the highlighted addresses, simply click the top left checkbox and you should see all of the addresses that are visible become checked.
- After making your selection, a button on the top right will appear saying "Purchase x records" with x being the number of addresses you have selected. So long as you have enough credits, you may press this button to initiate pulling. This process is asynchronous and may take some time depending on the volume of addresses you have selected, but most of the time, it should complete within seconds.
- We will notify you on the top right corner letting you know when this process is done with the number of how many addresses were successfully associated with a person and phone number. If you have left the manage tab, open it again to view your newly collected data in the bottom table. You may need to refresh the page to see them if they are not already visible.
- You did it! You now have a collection of data from the boundaries you drew on the map! With these drawing tools, you can get as targeted as you need based on where you think your customers are. We have more tools to get even more targeted that we'll discuss elsewhere in this guide.
